Chapter 46 The People in the Wang Estate

  Tammas said after finishing the method of curing meat, picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it with relish, after swallowing, he slapped his chopsticks on the table, shook his head and told another story:

  "What is the origin of the name 'Southern Meat' in my hometown? This name comes from the famous general Zong Ze of this dynasty. General Zong's courtesy name was Rulin, and he was a native of Yiwu, Wucheng County. During the Chongning period of Emperor Huizong of Song, Western Xia launched an attack on the Great Song due to excessive salt taxes, and Zong Ze led his troops to fight against them, heavily defeating Western Xia and laying the foundation for the future recovery of the lost territories in the northwest by the Privy Councilor Tong Guan. The most famous battle was when General-in-Chief Zong Ze personally led three hundred elite soldiers from his own army to infiltrate the main camp of Western Xia at night and beheaded the famous general of Western Xia, Mei Cangxun, which shocked the whole country."

  Due to this battle, the Zhejiang Jinhua Prefecture Yiwu Township relatives group comforted the army of Zong Ze, and specially made this ham. Because Zong Ze was from Yiwu, it was called "hometown ham", and this name has been passed down since then. Later, it was presented to the imperial court and named "Jinhua Ham" by the royal family.

  Ladies and gentlemen, the bravery of Zhejiang Yiwu soldiers is renowned in history. The main force of the Ming dynasty's resistance against the Japanese pirates - Qi Jiguang's Qi family army was mainly composed of Zhejiang Yiwu miners.

  Just as Tang Maoshi was getting into his stride, a cold voice suddenly came from the side: "The Western Xia campaign was clearly a great achievement of Tong Guan's, how did it become the merit of Zong Ze in the blink of an eye?"

  Everyone turned their heads to look, and it turned out that at the window seat, there was a table with eight young men sitting at it. They were all dressed in brocade clothes and wore bright red hats, but it was unclear which wealthy family they belonged to. Among them, one handsome young man who looked like a woman, delicate and charming, sat in the first seat, seemingly as the leader, and gave a stern glance over.

  Tan Ma Shi replied casually: "What I said is all recorded in the palace, can there be any mistake?"

  The handsome young man was speechless for a moment, then slammed his hand on the table and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, we've come all the way to buy your Jinhua ham, how come it's not served yet? Are you bullying us because we're strangers?"

  Jiang Zhenzi hastily walked over, stumbling as he went. Upon closer inspection, the young men's clothing was a dark base color with yellow trim, known as "xuan di huang zhang", and it was unclear which royal mansion they belonged to.

  "Sir, you don't know that our Jin Hua ham is made using the imperial court's method. We store it in a cool cellar and cover it with high-quality new tea leaves. When serving, we slice it thinly, mix it with shrimp eyes and Chenpi, and steam it with osmanthus for an hour to bring out the fragrance. It takes a lot of time, please forgive me."

  It's true that you can't hit a smiling face, and Jiang Zhenzi had put on such a low posture, everyone in the store thought nothing of it. But unexpectedly, the handsome young man suddenly slapped Jiang Zhenzi's round face with a loud slap, scolding: "What kind of dog are you, dare to talk to me!"

  The room fell silent, with no sound of birds chirping.

  Yue Fei was a bit puzzled, because his father-in-law had said that Jiang Zhenzi was extremely formidable, nicknamed the Flying Heavenly Pig God, how could he be so cowardly and not even dodge a slap in the face?

  Jiang Zhenzi was slapped in the face, but he didn't blush or get angry. He still smiled and said: "Sir, please don't get angry. When you get angry, you'll get a fever, and when you have a fever, you'll get acne, and acne is not good-looking."

  That handsome young man seemed to have vented some of his anger, and with a "hiss", he spat a mouthful of phlegm onto Jiang Zhen's body, saying: "You lowly thing, if it weren't for our Young Master Wang specifically telling us to eat this 'Jinhua ham', I'd burn down this broken shop of yours."

  Niu Gao could no longer bear it, he slapped the table, stood up and shouted: "Zhi Ze Niang, how can you bully people like this?". After finishing speaking, he strode towards that handsome young man.

  The other seven young men at the table also stood up, not saying a word, but silently drawing their swords, waiting in formation. They were just waiting for the handsome young man to give the order.

  Niang Zhenzi took a look and hastily hugged Niu Gao, saying: "This little brother is in trouble, he's in big trouble."

  It's strange to say that with Niu Gao's strength, he was hugged by Jiang Pangzi and couldn't exert half of his strength, and was forcibly hugged back to his seat.

  Niu Gao himself felt strange, patted his own body and muttered to himself: "What's going on? Why don't I have any strength?"

  Niú Gāo himself was confused, but Yue Fei saw it clearly: this Jiang Zhenzi's body was steady and stable, his footsteps were heavy and powerful; although his hands were slow, they were quick and light, and he pressed on Niú Gāo's vital points without letting him notice. This was obviously an ancient technique introduced by his adoptive father Zhou Tong: Peng Zu's Daoyin Technique - Xiong Jing Niao Shen.

  Yue Fei took a look around and saw that Mr. Zhong was nodding his head in approval with a smile, while Yang Zaixing had a thoughtful expression on his face. The rest of the people were filled with righteous indignation, eager to take action.

  The handsome young man sneered: "You don't know life or death, you cheap goods, and yet you don't recognize the people from our Liang Wang Fu."

  It turned out that these young men were followers of the recently popular and powerful Xiao Liang Wangfu.

  Yue Fei looked at Jiang Zhen and asked softly: "Is there something unspoken that makes you so tolerant of Mi Situjiang?"

  Tan Mas saw Yue Fei's lively learning and using, nodding his head in agreement again and again.

  Jiang Zhenzi smiled and said, "Brother-in-law has just arrived and doesn't know the rules of this place. Wenshu Lao Da said that no one is allowed to fight in the store, once you start fighting, you must see blood before it can be settled."

  Yue Fei asked: "Will Misi then give up on the Jiang?"

  Jiang Zhenzi's face turned serious and he said: "The rules of the boss can't be changed, but once you leave this store... Hehe." Jiang Zhenzi sneered.

  Yue Fei also smiled and said: "But these people sitting there, like a fishbone in the throat, make me lose my appetite completely. What if I have to take action?"

  Jiang Zhenzi resumed his usual smiling face and said: "Your identity is noble, I can't control you."

  As soon as Jiang Zhenzi's voice fell, Yue Fei had already stood up and taken a step forward to the young man's face. With two slaps, five palm prints appeared on the young man's face, which immediately swelled up on both sides.

  The other seven young men were about to get up, Yue Fei walked around the table like a ghost, patted each of the young men's right shoulders, and then floated back to his seat.

  Mr. Zhong applauded and praised: "Good posture, good subtle separation of muscles and bones, worthy of being the top apprentice in the world."

  Those seven young men were about to draw their swords, only to find that they couldn't exert any strength in their right hands. It turned out that the joints of their shoulders had been dislocated, and the piercing pain only appeared at this moment.

  The handsome young man also knew the situation, and said "Let's go". The eight Jin Yi young men endured the pain, got up and left the store, went to the backyard stable to lead back their horses, and galloped away quickly.

  Yue Fei looked at Jiang Zhen and asked: "So you're just going to let them go?"

  Jiang Zhenzi patted the fat on his body and said, "Many people have beaten me, Jiang Baozi, but it seems that no one can easily leave my shop in this short Wufu Street."

  What will happen next? To be continued.
